Folks,
We had a good day on the Massey project. Good thing since I need to take it to Sagertown tractor show Wednesday!
I tackled the choke bracket first and built a bracket coming off the outer intake mainfold bolt. I will get some pictures when I find the camera!
Completed the dash mounting and installed the steering wheel.
Assembled and mounted the grill.
Friend came over and we started the engine and found that the green wire coming from the engine is the kill (to ground) wire So this wire went on the OFF post on the switch. Next we checked the pink wire from the engine and got about 15 Vac reading. I think this is what MH81 said. Connected this to the "D" terminal.
Engine started right up, shut down worked and it seemed to be charging just a little too!:)
Installed the hood and wired in the head lights.
About the only thing remaining item is the four foot pads to be glued on the foot rests. and a strap for the hood.
Will get some photos.
Regards,
Chris

The gas tank I have has damage in the gas cap thread area. That and that the tank mounted to the engine vibrates the gas tank a lot I have some leakage around the lid. Tried to straighten the lip and add a thin piece of rubber under the lid too.

The other thing is that the battery is either weak or i have a electrical issue as it was about dead after several starting attempts.

Both things I will work on today.

Pulled the mower deck out from under the parts tractor and starting to look it over too.

Hope things are good.

Keep in mind the Pioneer Steam and gas show starting Friday in Sagertown PA Featuring Massey tractors and equipment.

Got the blower housing off the engine and pulled the fly wheel. Found a piece of tramp metal had damaged the pick ups in a couple places. I went to local shop and picked up a condenser and points and learned how to time the engine, by adjusting the location of the pack bolted to the block. Changing the points was suggested by Alan since I was having some issue with the engine running smooth.

The gas tank has some issues and a call to Rick B and he is sending me another tank. Thanks Rick! Nice when an supplier stands behind his sales items.

Since I had some gas leaks some of the gray will need repainted.

Considering fabing a custom bracket to support the tank from the battery box.
